REVIEW / YORUM: FLORMAR UP TO 7 DAYS SHINE & COLOR

If you’ve been reading my blog, you’ve probably seen in my most recent drugstore haul that I purchased a Flormar nail polish set. I’m talking about the “Up To 7 Days Shine & Color”. The set includes a polish and a top coat. The colour I’ve got is “011 Purple Magnet”, there are a few options ranging from nudes to darks and brights but I really liked this dark plum colour for my nails. The top coat is a “UV Top Coat” which makes the polish shiny and long-lasting, or at least it’s supposed to. Well, now that I’ve used it I can go into a bit more detail.

I really like the colour and the top coat just fine. But it doesn’t last more than two days on me which is shocking for a polish that claims to last up to seven days. The first time I applied two coats of “Purple Magnet”, waited for a couple of minutes, then applied the “UV Top Coat”. The top coat went on smoothly without dragging the polish and dried down quickly enough. I absolutely love the shiny effect it gives to my nails too. But… but, but, but… it starts to peel off of my nails after two or three days. It didn’t chip at all but there were random bits that were coming off of my nails. And I should mention that I also use Orly “Bonder” as a base coat too so actually it should be quite long-lasting. With that base coat most polishes last four or five days on my nails. Well, the next time I wanted to try the top coat with another polish and this time I used Essie “Wicked”. Again I applied the base coat, polish and then the top coat. But this time it both chipped and peeled off. So I’ll be using the top coat for its shiny, gel effect but I doubt that I’ll be repurchasing this one.
